Extra features Creality's CR-10 Smart Pro printer offers a large 300x300x400mm build volume, Sprite Pro direct extruder for multiple materials, CR Touch auto-leveling, PEI magnetic bed, 4.3" touchscreen, LED lighting, and Creality Cloud connectivity. Some areas of improvement include the use of brass spindle nuts and tinned wires. Creality’s Ender 7 printer offers remarkable print speeds, utilizing CoreXY kinematics for precise and fast movement. With a 250x250x300mm build area, dual direct extruder, and custom hotend, the Ender 7 is capable of printing at high speeds, although quality may suffer on smaller prints. Assembly is relatively straightforward, but the machine is noisy and can get hot. Its true speed potential is most noticeable on larger prints, where it outperforms its competitors.

Conclusion

In comparing the CR-10 Smart Pro and the Ender 7, several features stand out that affect their overall value and performance.

The CR-10 Smart Pro is priced higher but offers a larger print volume, making it more suitable for projects requiring larger dimensions. It features assistive bed leveling and a robust design with added conveniences like a touchscreen display and camera supervision for enhanced user experience. However, it receives moderate scores in cost-benefit and hardware categories, indicating some trade-offs in overall performance relative to its price.

On the other hand, the Ender 7 is a competitive option with a much lower price point. It boasts impressive printing speeds, utilizing advanced CoreXY technology, which gives it an edge in efficiency, especially for larger prints. Despite its lower build volume, it remains adept at handling a variety of materials with satisfactory print quality. However, assembly can be noisy and may require some adjustments post-setup, and it falls short on some hardware aspects when compared directly.

Overall, if budget constraints are a primary concern and speed is a significant factor, the Ender 7 emerges as a better choice given its cost-efficiency and high performance on larger prints. Conversely, if project versatility and additional features like auto-leveling and connectivity are valued, the CR-10 Smart Pro is a more comprehensive solution, albeit at a higher price. Ultimately, the decision hinges on the specific needs and priorities of the user.
